Chapter 339: Liar-Slayer: Dao Extreme!
"Omniscience, Omnipotence, One, Primordial Limitless, Absolute Extinction, The Highest Goodness is Like Water, Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, Unity of Man and Heaven, Sage, and Dust-Ruins Transformation to God. These are the Ten Extremes."
"The Ten Extremes encompass: mutual generation, mutual restraint, independence, sequence, and Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism."
"Initially, the reason I didn't mention the last three was because..."
Speaking up to this point, the youth seemed to be locked onto by something. His expression drastically changed, and his eyes widened.
A voice came from the depths of his soul.
"Liar-Slayer: Dao Extreme - Strip - Tamper - Return to Ruins - Seal!"
The next moment, his consciousness was drawn away. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to that instance, to that wasteland.
Terrified, he hurriedly checked his Liar-Slayer.
【Name: Ghost Whisperer.】
The youth slumped onto the ground and viciously slapped himself across the face.
On the surface, he looked extremely regretful, but in his heart...
'I did not fail the task entrusted to me. I handed over everything that should be handed over to him, and said everything that should be said.'
'Surnamed Li.'
'The life I owed you...'
'Has been paid in full!'
From a God's-eye perspective, if he had spoken the last three from the very beginning, he would have been sealed immediately. Therefore, he could only guide Chen Ran to say those three types of Extreme Realms at the very end.
…
Gao Lan looked around in bewilderment, and then at the equally bewildered Chen Ran in front of him.
【Senior?】
【Senior?】
After a long time with no answer, Gao Lan realized something was wrong and quickly checked his Liar-Slayer.
【Name: Liar-Slayer.】
【Effect 1: Can randomly summon an Instance Boss who hasn't suffered Ultimate Death. (Note: Except Wan Feng.)】
'There's an extra 【Except Wan Feng】. Who is Wan Feng? The senior from just now?'
Gao Lan frowned and continued reading.
【Effect 2: The next time you use a skill, you can directionally summon: Shangguan Yunji, the Second Floor Master of the Liar-Slayer Alliance.】
Seeing this, Gao Lan's heart pounded incessantly. This was simply turning the world upside down. A Reserve Teammate could actually summon the master?
'Who tampered with my skill?'
He couldn't help but look at Chen Ran. He clearly knew that the conversation between the senior and Chen Ran might have touched upon a taboo, bringing about a disaster.
However, with just this one look...
He saw Chen Ran's eyes. What kind of eyes were those?
Immediately after, he found himself in a white world.
"Are you Gao Lan?"
"Did you meet Qiu Yinong while you were alive?"
"Has anyone ever used hypnosis to implant other memories into you?"
Almost instantly, Chen Ran blurted out these three questions. Obviously, all three questions were prepared by him in advance.
The moment he spoke them, Chen Ran had already obtained the answers he wanted.
'He is Gao Lan!'
Gao Lan cursed inwardly. His identity had already been Confirmed by Chen Ran, so his value to Chen Ran was now zero.
He hastily broke free from Distance-Free Technique, propped his hands on the floor, and panted heavily. His mind felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by needles. Looking opposite him, Chen Ran's condition wasn't much better.
Chen Ran had stayed in the senior's Distance-Free Technique for a long time, and having used Distance-Free Technique just now, he only felt dizzy and a wave of nausea.
Before he could recover, the Secret Room suddenly went dark. When the light returned, Chen Ran found himself on the twelfth floor.
Let's comb through the entire process.
When there were only eight people left in the entire building.
On the eighth floor, Lin Xuan and Gao Lan met. Lin Xuan provided Gao Lan with a lie, Gao Lan summoned the senior, and Lin Xuan used his spatial skill.
He transferred Qiu Hua, Ye Qian, and Chen Ran, these three people, to other spaces.
At the same time, he transferred the Chen Ran from another space into this space.
On the twelfth floor, when Lin Xuan discovered the Chen Ran from the other space in front of the standing mirror, he provided him with a lie, but Chen Ran couldn't use his skill.
The one who used the skill was Lin Xuan.
He transferred himself to another space.
He transferred the real Chen Ran back.
He transferred the Chen Ran from the other space away, or rather, transferred him back to his original space.
He transferred three Five-Star Youths from other spaces to this space.
Thus, the plan was completed.
Then, it could be confirmed that the seven people in the Distance-Free Technique scene included Chen Ran, Short and Fat, Big Gold Tooth, and the Five-Star Youth.
While Qiu Hua, Ye Qian, and Lin Xuan were none of them in this space.
Gao Lan's identity was doubtful.
After all, he had been caught multiple times and couldn't appear on the second floor either, but in the Distance-Free Technique scene, Gao Lan indeed didn't dare go down to the second floor.
Qiu Hua A: Chen Ran.
Qiu Hua D: Big Gold Tooth.
Ye Qian C: Short and Fat.
Qiu Hua B and C: Both were Five-Star Youths.
Ye Qian A and B: Both were Five-Star Youths.
After combing through the entire process, Chen Ran turned into Qiu Hua's appearance, pressed the Elevator, took it to the second floor, and sat on the steps smoking.
He discovered that his entrance, and the position where he sat down at this moment, were actually exactly the same as predicted in the Distance-Free Technique scene.
'If I choose to cancel my Mental State suppression right now, does it mean the subsequent development will be different from the prediction in Distance-Free Technique?'
'But I cannot cancel it, because right now, I am like having purchased an advanced on-demand VVIP membership on a video website; I can foresee the subsequent development of the Infighting.'
He looked at the Elevator. Sure enough, the Elevator first went up to the thirteenth floor, then up to the fourteenth floor, and immediately after, went down to the first floor.
It wasn't over yet. Eventually, the Elevator ascended to the second floor again. From the Elevator, a Qiu Hua and a Ye Qian walked out.
At the same time, Chen Ran also looked at the other Qiu Hua and Ye Qian who had gone down to the second floor.
'Does it have to be this accurate?'
It wasn't over yet!
The next moment, Gao Lan appeared on the stairs of the second-and-a-half floor. Upon seeing the seven people, he immediately took to his heels and ran upstairs.
Next.
The seven people began their battle of wits. Although the words spoken were slightly different from those in the Distance-Free Technique, the specific content was basically identical.
Chen Ran's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The youth could actually predict to this extent in Distance-Free Technique.
Wouldn't the leader of the Deceiver Alliance strip Chen Ran down to his underwear?
In the Three-Body Problem, the Sophons could monitor humanity but couldn't read thoughts, which was why the Wallfacers were born. But Chen Ran's current predicament was even more miserable than humanity in the Three-Body Problem.
If he didn't suppress his Mental State, he wouldn't be a match for other players. If he suppressed his Mental State, his future would be predicted by Omniscience.
He could understand why The Highest Goodness is Like Water was born. This Omniscience...
Was simply ridiculously strong!
However, it wasn't like there was no way out. Eternal Kingdom could break the Omniscience skill imposed on him, although it couldn't ban the Omniscience skill present on the 18th Level or other instances.
But it could also buy him an hour of time. He could choose not to suppress his Mental State for the first half hour, and suppress it for the second half hour.
This way, he could interfere with Omniscience's prediction of his future in Distance-Free Technique.
After all, Omniscience wouldn't know when Chen Ran would choose to suppress his Mental State within the next hour.
Moreover, after using Eternal Kingdom, the skills imposed by Omniscience on other players in the same instance as Chen Ran would also be broken.
In other words, within this one hour, the entire instance would be in an insulated state.
Omniscience couldn't pry into when Chen Ran suppressed his Mental State through others.
Thinking up to this point.
Chen Ran took a deep drag of his cigarette. He was doing this because he feared Omniscience or The Almighty could contact players in the instance. By then, every player he encountered in the instance could possibly be possessed by a super God-Tier Carrier, laying out traps against him.
Ten deaths and no life!
Therefore, this one hour of Eternal Kingdom was crucial to him.
It could be said that Eternal Kingdom intercepted an hour-long opportunity for him to change his fate.
It had to be said that the ideology of the School of Military Momentum played a decisive role here. Otherwise, how could he have thought of a method to change his fate so quickly?
'Fuck!'
'The difference in tiers is too huge. How is there any logic in a Qi Refining stage ant running into an enemy above the Dao Sacrifice Realm as soon as they step out the door?'
